NEWS: 593rd TES activates at Edwards to support multi-domain testing; #USSF instruction at the #USAF Test Pilot School. This represents continued growth as we integrate critical capabilities for the #warfighter. More- starcom.spaceforce.mil/News/Article-D… @HQ_AFMC @USSF_STARCOM

🏆#AFMC was recognized by @AirForceCE and received the @usairforce Design Award, recognizing two projects, one at @WrightPattAFB and one at @EdwardsAFB, for exceptional achievements in design, sustainability, and energy efficiency. #OneAFMC afmc.af.mil/News/Article-D…

The 412th Medical Group continued #community integration with a visit to @UCLAHealth in Los Angeles. Ensuring #USAF #Airmen have the best #healthcare outcomes possible requires a regional approach where military and industry can discuss best practices. #AFMC @HQ_AFMC

✈️The @usairforce’s Experimental Operations Unit concluded a critical exercise with Collaborative Combat Aircraft recently at @EdwardsAFB, putting principles of the new Warfighting Acquisition System into practice. #OneAFMC #readiness afmc.af.mil/News/Article-D…

✈️Game-changing #CCA exercise at Edwards AFB puts operators first to develop new tactics. This speeds up delivering uncrewed airpower to the warfighter, ensuring a more lethal & ready force. afmc.af.mil/News/Article-D… #USAF #AFMC #Innovation #Readiness #lethality 📸 Ariana Ortega

Writing the playbook for tomorrow’s fight. Operators are putting Collaborative Combat Aircraft to work faster—developing tactics through early experimentation & shaping how they’ll be used in the future fight. More: dvidshub.net/r/s3fjaj #CCA #NextGen #AirForce #Innovation

Sharper data. Faster decisions. Stronger airpower. The Flight Test Engineering Lab at @EdwardsAFB enhances test efficiency and capability for the joint force. edwards.af.mil/News/Display/A…

B-21 Raider aerial refueling demonstrates how critical capability is reaching the force faster. A key part of the nuclear triad, it strengthens deterrence & assures allies. Take a closer look: afgsc.af.mil/News/Article-D… @US_STRATCOM | @usairforce | @EdwardsAFB

✈️The Flight Test Engineering Lab at @EdwardsAFB has expanded its operational footprint, cementing its role as a key strategic asset in developing the nation's next generation of warfighting technologies. #OneAFMC afmc.af.mil/News/Article-D…

Team test represents an ecosystem that bridges gaps across government and industry. From instruction at #USAF TPS, to testing advanced systems, this integration provides cohesion across developmental testing, delivering lethal capabilities for the warfighter... faster. #AFMC
